Chapter 179 - 179 Instant Death Authority (1)

179 Instant Death Authority (1)

Instant Death skills were based on special mechanisms. In order not to disrupt the balance of the battle, they often had extremely harsh activation conditions. Typically, they were either very easy to dodge or the probability of successfully casting a spell was crazy low. The former was usually used to restrict the enemy, while the latter was often used to restrict players.

William remembered that the Void Sovereigns whose domains were related to annihilation and destruction had a few Instant Death skills. Most of the Death-related Authority holders he had interacted with used Instant Death skills.

However, most of them were countdown skills that required seconds or ranged skills that even an old granny could dodge if she exerted some strength. Of course, this was based on one’s performance in-game. But even if it was converted to reality, William believed that he could easily dodge them with his perception and speed.

However, he had never seen such a directional, instantaneous, and unreasonable Instant Death skill released by the undead Terra in front of him.

Black and red auras entangled in the undead’s hand like snakes, forming the shape of a heart. As the other party suddenly clenched his fist, a glass-like voice sounded from his chest.

William subconsciously lowered his head. A chisel-like wound appeared in the middle of his chest. Dense cracks spread from the wound like a spiderweb, his body gradually disintegrating into pieces.

Delusional Heartbeat?

William suddenly recalled an old anime he had watched when he was young. A skeleton-masked black-clothed assassin could destroy a replicated heart that resonated with the enemy’s heart to produce a one-hit kill. The ability the other party used was somewhat similar to his.

However, even Delusional Heartbeat needed a medium for releasing, right? How could there be such an unreasonable Instant Death skill?

His body shattered quickly. William didn’t have much time to think about these questions. He first threw the Black Hole in his hand at the other party. Then, he released Mirror Shadow on his phantom that hadn’t completely collapsed.

In a few seconds, William’s Mirror Shadow shattered, turned into foam, and dissipated. The phantom created by William’s phantom gradually drew its outline in midair.

He reached out and caught the falling iron token before looking up into the distance.

The Black Hole that he threw out was only the size of a needle tip, but it triggered a series of intense phenomena wherever it flew—the seawater along the way connected to form a thin and elegant water curtain, and the surrounding mist was absorbed by the black hole. An extremely thin and deep spatial rift appeared along its flying trajectory. It looked like William was shooting out a black ray.

Terra slashed out blood-red sword beams, instantly interweaving into a gorgeous network in midair, but they couldn’t block the strike at all. The black trajectory attacked the other party at an unhurried and unstoppable speed.

Although the net formed by the blood-red sword beams was extremely fine, the holes they had were still too big compared to the needle-sized Black Hole. The water curtain that appeared because of the Black Hole’s attraction shattered on the sword net, and the spatial rift behind the Black Hole instantly dissipated. However, the Black Hole’s main body simply passed through the net like a gust of wind blowing through a screen window.

The cloaked phantom behind Terra’s ghost immediately gripped his body and planned on dodging it, but it was already too late.

A huge suction force surged from the Black Hole. The other party could only barely move a few meters away with all his might. Finally, he could only watch as he was struck.

For a moment, William saw only black and white in the world.

An extremely huge deep black ball expanded almost instantly, completely devouring Terra’s ghost. A dazzling pure white halo surrounded the black ball like the sun’s corona.

However, this scene only lasted for an instant.

If one had to describe it, it would probably be an explosion that was replayed in reverse slowly.

The pitch-black ball and dazzling halo that seemed to cover half the sky slowly and firmly collapsed inward in silence.

A huge suction force simultaneously lifted the huge warship under the other party’s feet out of the sea slowly. It was as if a pair of invisible hands had lifted it and dismantled it into countless drifting fragments from top to bottom in midair. Then, it was sucked into the constantly collapsing black ball.

This was another spell that was several levels stronger than its in-game effects and level of destruction.

After all, there was no strong environmental interaction in-game.

William watched the removed mist, the temporarily raised sea level, and the gradually dismantling huge warship.

The black ball and halo shrank and finally collapsed and evaporated. Only then did the extremely powerful Divine Realm Shadow spell, Black Hole, finally end.

After the temporarily raised sea level lost the huge suction force, it instantly turned into a surging wave that spread in all directions. Countless warship fragments that hadn’t been pulled into the Black Hole turned into a rain of splinters and fell, swept in all directions by the waves.
